SCIENCE: Seeds
Our investigation of
seeds continue with an experiment answering the question:
Can dormant seeds grow without soil?
Each team created a minisprouter with 4 different kinds
of seeds. Each day they observed changes and watered
the seeds with a mild bleach
solution to prevent mold. Ask
your child which seed they are
watching and how it has
changed during the week.
READING/LANGUAGE:
With a new story, The Case of
the Gasping Garbage, students
continue to examine characters
and the motivations that affect
the events in the story. Ask your
child to describe Drake, Nell and
their motivations.
Dictionaries: We were excited to
receive our own dictionaries from
the Lion’s Club on Tuesday. Already students were using the
dictionaries to find words’
spelling and definition, sound out
new words, locate a word’s part
of speech, learn sign language,
and even examine maps and planets.
Writing: With the delivery of the
dictionaries, we took the opportunity to work on letter writing
with a thank you note to the Lion’s Club.
Weekly Challenge-optional
In English, words that start with the prefix of “bi” mean “two of something”. There
are many other prefixes that refer to a number. Make a chart to list several prefixes, their
meaning, and examples of words with definitions with that prefix.
Example: du0
two
duet-a musical composition for two performers
